Dunkley Monash

Monash and Dunkley are very different Victorian settings. Monash is a vast, car-dependent area where 91.3% of homes are separate houses and many residents are older, with a typical age of 46. In contrast, Dunkley is very walkable and more urban, with a typical resident aged 40. There are stark gaps in accessibility: 82.5% of Dunkley homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to only 45.9% in Monash. Education and income also differ, with 55.8% of Dunkley residents completing Year 12 compared to 43.3% in Monash, and a typical weekly family income that is $493 higher in Dunkley.

The gap in typical family income has widened since 2011, but the two areas share other similarities. Both have about the same proportion of people providing unpaid care and a similar share of homes with three or more bedrooms. While Monash has far more public transport departures per 1,000 people in Dunkley, very few people in either area use public transport to commute to work, with figures between 0.5% and 1.3%.
